Counselling Services
Counselling
Let’s sit down and chat about what’s not working for you. Whatever is challenging you just now, talking things through with an objective, empathetic listener can make the world of difference and I can offer you ideas, tools and strategies for overcoming or managing the tough things life inevitably throws at us.
Talk to me about stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, decision-making, self-esteem, addictive behaviours, mental health issues, sexuality and more.

Relationship/Couple Counselling
Even the most loving couple can find themselves feeling disconnected or in conflict. Counselling helps us understand our partner and ourselves better by taking a look at our upbringings and the different worldviews, parenting styles, moral codes and expectations we bring into a relationship.
We also talk about healthy communication and conflict resolution to build resilience for when things get tough, and ways to enhance intimacy and connection.

Family Counselling
Families are like a machine that runs smoothly when every part is functioning at its best. But many things can disrupt a family’s normal operation including loss, illness, conflict, financial stress and hurt. In counselling we will take a look at how the connections between family members might have been broken or damaged, how to overcome difficulties as a unit and how to maintain good communication and strong bonds.

Animal Assisted Therapy
At no extra cost you have the option of having my therapy dog present during our sessions. Piper is a fluffy black Schnoodle and cuddling her is like hugging a teddy bear. Animals have been proven to be an aid to therapy through their unconditional acceptance, their calming influence and as a source of comfort and social connection.
Coaching
In a coaching session we’ll talk about goal-setting and what might be holding you back from the life you want. We identify the resources you already have as well as those you’ll need in order to reach your target.
